i know when the type s comes out. we would be able to purchase the tailights and blinking mirrors. anyone thinking of replacing thier 04-06 tailights/blinking mirrors with the 07 type s tail lights /blinking mirrors?

 

I'm hoping it's an easy upgrade, but i do plan on switching them out.

 

i hope it's not too expensive...
some of the acura products are priced as hell!!

 

Guys if your interesed I plan on send the stock sets out on the 2007 TL Mirrors to get duplicated. I should have them within 3-4 months after release. I should be able to cut Retail price in half and they will be 100% duplicated. I am throwing this idea around so let me know if its something you would want to do.

 

that sounds great. I think everyone here would appreciate this. Im in.

 

count me in

 

I will get them if they can fit/work on my '05. I'm not too concerned about price because I'd lose more money trading in my car than paying to upgrade to look like an '07.

 

I actually like the shape of our mirrors.....who needs lights on them? They don't even look that cool w/ lights...

I would *love* to have the Type-S tail lights

And possibly the headlight fixture

 

Yeah, from what I've seen so far I'm not a big fan of the new side mirrors. Don't forget, we will have some rewiring to do to get the blinkers to work. Could be quite a hassle. (Of course maybe not too much more than getting the sidemarkers to blink)

 

I plan to swap my tail lights with those of s 07 TL-S, as well as swap out the rear side markers (they're smoked to match to the fronts in 2007)...
It looks completely plug and play.

A quick parts study show the rear tail housings (pair) are $260 (for a 2006), and you'd have to transfer the LED module from your existing lights over to the new housings. This of course assumes the older LED fixtures will fit in the new housing... if not you're looking at anotehr $260 in LED fixtures.

My guess is the housing will be around $300 a pair for the housings, and another $300 for the LED fixtures (if we need them)... $$$

The rear side markers are $140 a pair as well (2006), so I'd suspect we'll be able to replace them for nearly that price.

Heeltoe, I look forward to see what you come up with, and how competitve your pricing will be with OEM parts.

 

I'm interested!!

 

Smart idea, we need more savvy buisnesspeople like you who can identify an obvious need in the market and see easy opportunity. You're standing out from the crowd who saturate us with wheels, spoilers etc. which have had competition. Find some niche of what people want and they will sell like hotcakes!! Here's another idea supercomputers; find a way to market a mesh grille with a floating symbol. People will buy. Your pedals are great btw.

 

I wonder how the new A spec wheels will look for 07??

 

Am I the only one who finds these tail lights hideous?

 

I would have to agree with you. I like all one color tail light looks alot cleaner.

 

I agree as well. I do not like the tail lights and lights on the mirror, they make the car look very busy. I guess 'Sinister' is the word I should use.

 

I don't really care for any of the changes, outside of the gauges.

 

pictures anyone?

 

I'll probably replace the rear side markers only since they would complement the fronts.

 

i got a cool idea, the new headlights have 2 projectors, i think. We can have 2 hids there and have yellow bulbs for the fogs. This idea is good for those light fanatics.

 

I too love the shape of our current TL mirrors. They compliment the current TL over the 07 mirror housing, which are oversized just to accomodate the turn signals. If they had kept the current TL mirror housing and integrated the TSX Led signals, then that would more blend in with the style of the TL because of the slim lines on the car.

 

Ok guys I am on it. I will as soon as I can get my hands on 07 Mirrors send them out to Germany to get speced up. I will have my electric expert out there take a look at what is involved. Unless this is an easy Plug and play I may not want to get into it. But from a few conversations it should be a pretty easy ad. Thanks for the props on the pedals they are selling well and all the installs look great. As soon as I can get you more info I will but keep in mind this process will take us 3-4months so please be patient.



Rocky PM me what you had in mind on a Grill we will see what we can do. Like I always say it doesnt hurt to try.

 

The 2007 S-type grille is a big improvement and there looks to be a mesh on it instead of a ribs. Everybody is talking about the mugen style though. The OEM won't ever reach production, butI bet a lot of forum members would buy it if it was ever offered. This would be a very easy design to mas produce. Take a poll and see if it's a worthwhile venture for you. I bet many would want this as the car's grille really can enhance the front-end appearance.

 

I'd take a grill like that.

 

lol that isn;t a tl 07 lol look at the head light it;s not the 07 headlights and look at the side mirrors

that should be a mod 04-06 tl

 

I want to get the side mirrors and the headlights of the 07 type-s. The reasone I want to get the headlights is because I think it would be easy to put on angel eyes on the projectors, but other than that I like the 05 headlights better

 

here you go http://www.rsportscars.com/eng/cars/acura_tl_types.asp

 

The 07 tails remind me of the Mitsubishi Galant tail lights.

 

its funny. the longer i look at it. the less i like it. it just doesnt look as classy as the red ones ont here now. i was completely stoked at first. but now... its just... eh..

still looks good but just doesnt look as classy and its starting to bugg me. i kinda like the red lens and the red sidemarker. if i were to switch out the tails, i would also have to switch out the sidemarker.

 

I totally agree. At first it was a must have item, but the more I look at it, I start to appreciate the simplicity of the red tails more. Only thing I do wish was that we had the rear muffler cut-outs the 07's do because that will flow better with the quad setup I plan to go with in the future.

 

I"m in with supercomputer

 

Actually...I had talked about this same thing...but trying to source em early from the Chinese version...but I guess I was too early....But definately in on this one SuperComputers....would love to have a set of these tails! Count me in!!

 

This is the Mugen concept front end for the 04-06 TL

D.

 

I don't see the big difference. I the light that is. Until I see them. I think I am staying with stock.

 

Like to see what's new with the Navi?

 

Here is the tails that he is talking about....old news though if you havent already seen them...there is a entire 60 some odd page thread about the 2007 models...




And here is the front...yes those other pics are of a MUGEN concept vehicle...

 

The only thing I'd take off of the '07 would be the side mirrors, and I'd want to see them lit up to make sure the front of the car doesnt have too many lights on at once.

 

I'm actually wanting to do the headlights, taillights, and rear sidemarkers from the Type-S. Those headlights will save a lot of people from having to go through the blackout process. All in all, I think those 3 things give the TL a much more aggressive and sportier look.

 

Lots of folks are saying that they're gonna do the headlights...

You guys are aware that a set of headlight housings (which does not inlclude the ballast or bulbs), is almost $900

You may score a set o ebay in a FEW YEARS, after the market saturates a bit...

Suddenly $150 for headlight clearing doesn't seem so expensive.

 

I'm in for the tail lights, rear side markers, and mirrors. I might have to buy them straight from the dealer tho just to have them on asap. hehe
